Find us on social media: VacationsByDana - We own four identical condos in this building, plus 2 larger condos in other buildings including Turquoise Place, plus a 7-bdrm house in progress in Destin. Ask about other availability too. Closer the dates, lower the rates in ALL of my homes. The reviews are unmatched and check out these VIEWS!!! This super spacious 2-bdrm, 2.5 bath sleeps 6 total in beds, but **max 4 adults (no adults in bunks**). 131+ ALL FIVE STAR REVIEWS, unmatched in this area, make sure you read what our guests have to say as the difference is crystal clear!!! See our other properties also! See our photos and glowing guest reviews and you'll see how this condo picked up the nickname 'HOLY GUACAMOLE' from our first Texas guests! When you walk in, the view takes your breath away and strange things will come out of your mouth, jaw-dropping panoramic views! The photos don't do it justice, and reviews are impossible to argue with.

FAVORITE FEATURE...This newer building was uniquely designed and offers stunning views from a 30-FOOT WIDE WALL OF GLASS, floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall, with an unobstructed view overlooking the Gulf! That main room ALONE is around 600 sq ft ~~ Our huge BALCONY overlooking Gulf will quickly become your favorite hang-out. From the 16th floor, you can see for MILES, with a front-row seat for the daily dolphin and pelican entertainment!

* NEW Sonos Wi-Fi Speaker, stream wirelessly from your personal music library, favorite streaming music services, and over 100,000 internet radio stations from around the world. * SPACIOUS!: 1,236 sq ft - this condo is MUCH larger than most 2 bedrooms!

BEDS: King ~ Queen ~ one set twin/twin bunks - so max of 4 adults and "kids" must be 12 & under for bunks.

BONUS LAGOON VIEWS: Eight-mile long Little Lagoon is behind the condo - views from both bedrooms. Bring your jet skis and fishing rods and walk three blocks down to West Pass OR to the public dock just 2 minutes out your back door. The kids will love fending off the pinfish, chasing minnows and hermit crabs, or dropping down a crab basket ~ and the adults love the fishing action and sunsets.

LOCATION: Sanibel complex lies in a low-density, mainly residential area where you won't have to fight for a spot on the beach, but is only 2.5 miles west of Hwy 59 which is the hub of activity and restaurants in Gulf Shores. A 5-minute drive to the Super Walmart on Ft. Morgan Rd at 59 will meet all your shopping needs, including groceries and beach supplies! Approximately 25 restaurants within a 5-minute drive, plus putt putt golf, the zoo, and Waterville Amusement Park, Movie theatre, etc.

BEACH ACCESS/boardwalk is directly across the street, a few houses to left.

The kitchen is fully outfitted with salt, pepper, sugar, dishtowels/hotpads, cleaners, dishes, glasses, cookware, toaster, microwave, blender, etc. Refrigerator has water/ice-dispenser in the door! There is also an iron/ironing board. E-mail for further specifics.

About Dana Flynn

call 832.758.2331 for questions! I grew up in the Pensacola area (next town to the east) and adore these beaches and being on the water. There is NO WHERE I would rather be! I learned how to swim here, fished with my dad, lifeguarded local beaches, and just love digging my toes in the sand! I married a New Yorker, and it only took ONE visit to the panhandle beaches for him to fall - hook, line and sinker - for the stunning beaches and the laid-back attitude that goes with it! We visit our condos at least six times a year, and know the area very well.

Dana Flynn purchased this Condo in 2007

Why Dana Flynn chose Gulf Shores

Gulf Shores is is the quintessential beach town - still quaint - yet has everything you need from a beach town for a great vacation! We grew tired of the traffic and hustle and bustle in Destin and other beach areas. Most importantly, we chose Gulf Shores for the sugar white sands, crystal clear water, and plenty to do (or NOT do). The location of this condo just can't be beat: close to everything, but just out of the fray of any traffic.

What makes this Condo unique

Fishing in the Pass or in Little Lagoon behind the condo, walking to Bahama Bob's for happy hour or dinner, being able to take a jog down West Beach without fear of being run over! I also love the super fast wi-fi for my laptop on a rainy day. The views of BOTH the Gulf AND Little Lagoon are simply gorgeous!

Suitability

doorways of this condo have actually been widened and bathrooms are very spacious.

Our first visit to Gulf Shores was a great one! We stayed in this awesome condominium with spectacular views. It's a short pleasant stroll to beach and comes stocked with beach chairs and toys.. We would definitely stay here again. We made a couple trips to beach a day sometimes three so kiddos could go crabbing at night so I would recommend a lot more towels/washcloths. Mattresses were firm. Lots of parking available but need to request a parking pass in advance for each vehicle. Thanks Dana for sharing your beautiful vacation home!

This was our first time to stay at Sanibel 1605. Dana the owner was wonderful. She answered any questions we had and was quick to do so. Her communication with her renters is top notch!

We loved the view when we walked in the door. The closer you got to the balcony the better it was! The set up of the living/dining & kitchen areas allowed you to look out at the ocean while cooking, lounging on the sectional or sitting at the table for dinner! We cooked lots of meals in the fully stocked kitchen & the kids enjoyed the SONOS system to listen to music. The rooms were spacious, beds were comfy and bathrooms were big with plenty of space. The half bath was convenient so you didn't have to bother others who were resting in the bedrooms.

The walk to the beach access was quick & easy. We took advantage of the beach chairs & sand toys in the outdoor storage. We spent lots of time on the balcony! We would have enjoyed a table for eating or sitting at with a laptop on the balcony.

We explored the 'Pass' thanks to the info from Dana. We waded in the water and caught hermit crabs! You do need to pay to park & it fills up fast but it was worth the $5 to hang out in the calm water and not worry too much about the waves taking the kids down! (it is in walking distance but with chairs/beach gear & kids it was easier to drive!)

We really enjoyed our stay at Sanibel. The pool isn't very deep so keep that in mind if you have kids who like to dive/jump in. It was always clean and not too crowded which was nice. Thanks so much Dana! The welcome gift was appreciated too! We love Gulf Shores!

We do NOT force weekly in spring break or summer, but you must align your dates so that there is either NO GAP between you and the next guest - or AT LEAST 3 nights' gap. So if there is a 4 or 5 night gap between bookings, you would need to take all 4 or 5 nights. Or if there is a 7-nt gap, you can take the first 3 or 4 nights - or the LAST 3 or 4 nights, but not 3 nights right in the middle. Always leave either NO gap - OR EITHER a 3-nt gap or more. Shoulder seasons are more flexible but check with me first at 832.758.2331 or dana.beachcondo@yahoo.com if you aren't sure about your dates as I have other (identical) condos in this building also.
**HOLIDAY and/or FESTIVAL RATES MAY APPLY and I usually do not allow a check-in OR check-out ON an actual holiday as it makes my calendar difficult to work with.
~ MINIMUM BOOKING AGE = 23, no spring breakers, bachelor parties, etc or all-adult groups unless you are ALL over 23.
~ MAX of 2 parking passes provided and one has been included in your quote.
~ Rates always subject to change until reservation is confirmed; if your booking will leave me with dates/ranges that are hard to book, I may increase your price to compensate for my time and risk incurred.
~ Security deposit MAY be required at my discretion based on perceived risk, in addition to damage insurance.
~ Military discount provided during off and shoulder seasons, with proper military I.D. Discounts may be lower in peak season.
